Chapter 86 Original Heart
Lu Yi: What’s going on?
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Looking through the surveillance camera, Lu Yi's temples began to throb again.
There were two uninvited guests standing outside the door.
Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou.
I wonder what the couple is doing here?
Lu Yi took a deep breath, resigned himself to his fate and opened the door.
"What are you doing here?"
His tone was not friendly, but rather repulsive.
Gu Yuan seemed a little embarrassed, touched his nose, and explained: "I heard that Grandpa Lu went to capture the monster today? Let's come to see how the situation is."
His tone was sincere and concerned.
Lu Yi: “…”
He felt another arrow hit his chest.
Don't bring up anything that is not related to the topic!
He glanced unhappily at Ji Yunzhou, who seemed to be smiling beside him, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou have a close relationship, and as the Ghost King, it is normal for Ji Yunzhou to have contacts with the high-level officials in the demon world.
Lin Xiaoqian is a thousand-year-old demon, there is no reason why Ji Yunzhou wouldn’t know her!
"you…"
Lu Yi pointed at Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan, and said firmly: "You already knew that Lin Xiaoqian was a snake demon, right? Why didn't you tell me?"
He felt depressed when he thought that he might have been kept in the dark and treated like a fool for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunzhou raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his lips, stretched out his long arm, and naturally put his arm around Gu Yuan's shoulders, full of possessiveness.
He raised an eyebrow at Lu Yi and said something that could infuriate anyone: "You don't have the ability to see through it yourself, so why do you blame other people's wives? My A-Yuan is kind-hearted and came to see if you were scared to tears, but you're the first to blame me?"
The veins on Lu Yi's forehead twitched.
ill!
"Who's crying?"
"Who cares about you?"
Ji Yunzhou said confidently: "Besides, what is Lin Xiaoqian? Does it matter? She is a good demon who abides by the law."
Of course, no one is as good as him.
At this time, Lu Qiming heard the noise and strolled out from the inner room.
As soon as he saw Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou, the old man's eyes lit up and the wrinkles on his face were all smiling: "Oh! It's little Gu and little Ji! Come in, come in! What are you doing standing at the door!"
He completely ignored his grandson's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and enthusiastically welcomed the two of them into the house, and patted Lu Yi on the back.
He said to Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou: "Don't worry about it. This kid might be a little unhappy today. He's a little stupid and speaks aggressively."
Lu Yi: “…”
Who is the real grandson?
Looking at Grandpa, Ji Yunzhou and Gu Yuan having fun together, they seemed like old friends who knew each other well.
Lu Yi's thoughts flashed through his mind.
Grandpa knows Lin Xiaoqian.
Ji Yunzhou obviously also knew Lin Xiaoqian and was very familiar with her.
As Ji Yunzhou's partner, Gu Yuan naturally knew the inside story, so it was not surprising.
But why does that kid Li Chuan seem to know something about the inside story?
Now that I think about it, that guy is probably not a simple character!
Maybe it’s some hidden big shot!
Congratulations on guessing correctly, but there is no reward.
He remembered that Li Chuan also had that elusive aura.
And he was the one who took them to Lin Xiaoqian's shop!
Wow.
Lu Yi felt that he had discovered the truth.
After all this time, it turns out that I’m the clown?
Is he the only one who is kept in the dark and knows nothing like a fool?
He foolishly thought he was a celestial master who upheld justice, but ended up being surrounded by friends who were either ghost kings or powerful demons...
What about Jichen and Gu Jing? They must be ordinary people, right?
But thinking about Jichen and Gu Jing’s reactions that day, they should be just ordinary people.
This gave him a little comfort, at least the whole world was not deceiving him.
After the four of them sat down, Lu Yi recounted his grandfather's experience today, which made Gu Yuan marvel.
"I didn't expect that Sister Xiaoqian and you would have such a fate."
Gu Yuan sighed: "Her cooking skills are indeed very good. Yun Zhou and I often go there to eat."
Ji Yunzhou finally spoke, his tone still cold but pertinent: "Lin Xiaoqian practices the righteous way, and Linlang is not evil, so there is no need to worry."
Lu Yi listened to Ji Yunzhou's words. This guy actually said nice things.
Lu Qiming smiled and said, "In front of Lord Ji, all beings are equal. As long as you abide by the laws of the underworld, do not do evil, and do not hurt others, whether you are human or demon, you can get a place."
Ji Yunzhou nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.
At this time, Gu Yuan asked curiously: "Lu Yi, can you show us the secret book that Sister Xiaoqian gave you?"
Lu Yi hesitated and looked at his grandfather.
Lu Qiming smiled and nodded: "It's okay to show it to Xiao Gu and Xiao Ji. They are all trustworthy people."
Hearing the word "one of our own", Lu Yi's mouth twitched, but he still got up and went to the room to get the secret book of materials and handed it to Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan flipped through a few pages but didn't understand.
Then he handed it to Ji Yunzhou: "This is indeed a long-lost secret method. You are lucky, Lu Yi."
Ji Yunzhou said calmly, "This secret technique complements the masculine method of Longhu Mountain. If you practice it well, it can make up for the lack of flexibility in your technique."
Having received Ji Yunzhou's approval, Lu Yi immediately treasured this secret book even more.
In the following time, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Several people drank tea and chatted about interesting stories in the cultivation world. Lu Qiming and Gu Yuan were mainly talking, Ji Yunzhou occasionally interjected a word or two, and Lu Yi listened most of the time, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.
He also confirmed Li Chuan's identity from the seemingly casual chat between Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou.
Sure enough, that guy was not an ordinary person. He was a ghost messenger working in the underworld, and of a high rank. No wonder he could walk freely in the human world and his breath was difficult to detect.
They chatted until late at night before Gu Yuan and Ji Yunzhou got up to say goodbye.
After seeing the two off, Lu Yi stood on the balcony, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.
This world is far more complex and colorful than he imagined. There are not only monsters and demons, but also true love and kindness.
Lu Qiming walked over to his grandson and asked, "What's up? Are you still thinking about Xiaoqian? Or... are you still trying to figure out the identities of Ji Yunzhou and Li Chuan?"
Lu Yi took the teacup and said softly, "Not entirely, Grandpa, I just think... this world is so wonderful.
The Tao I believe in is clear-cut and distinct, it is about slaying demons and monsters and maintaining righteousness in the world.
But now I realize that the boundaries are so blurred.
I thought things were black and white, but in fact, there are countless brilliant colors in between. I was too narrow-minded before."
Lu Qiming smiled and patted his grandson's shoulder: "This is growth, kid, remember, whether you are a human or a monster, what matters is your heart.
Xiaoqian has practiced for hundreds of years and has always maintained a kind heart, which is more valuable than many humans."
Lu Yi nodded thoughtfully.
As for how to tell whether the people around you are human or ghost?
The corners of Lu Yi's mouth curled up in a self-deprecating yet somewhat relieved arc.
Then again, if people of Ji Yunzhou and Li Chuan's level were to hide themselves intentionally, not only him, but even his grandfather might not be able to see through them easily.
The gap in strength is too big.
However, if it were those little ghosts and demons with shallow Taoism and evil intentions.
With his ability as a true disciple of Mount Longhu, he was confident that he could see through it at a glance!
Thinking of this, I felt a lot more at ease. It seems that improving one's own strength is the fundamental way to cope with this complex world.
